Austria hosts Israel in round 9 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Friday, November 12th at Wörthersee Stadion (Klagenfurt)
The Austrian national team was considered a real contender for promotion from their group, and it seemed that it would be able to impose a struggle even on the Danes. In fact, the Austrians are ranked fourth in the standings, and even the theoretical chances for second place are lost, as Scotland is ahead by seven points. The Austrians should blame themselves for their troubles, since they lost three of the last four games, including to direct competitors, Israel and Scotland. Now the Red-Whites have chances of taking only third place in the group, although this will definitely be a weak consolation for Alaba and his partners.

On paper, the Israeli national team retains the chances of reaching the playoffs. Two rounds before the end of the qualifying cycle, the Blue and Whites are in third place and lag behind second Scotland by four points. But the competitors will play away against Moldova, so the likelihood that they will lose points is extremely low. One of the key ones was the game of the penultimate round against the aforementioned Scots. The Israelis were leading 2-1 away but eventually lost 2-3, conceding the decisive goal in the 94th minute. Now little depends on the national team of Israel. They just need to play football, not thinking about the results.
Both Austria and Israel have practically lost their tournament motivation, as there are almost no chances of taking second place. The bookmakers somehow strongly believe in the Austrians, despite their failed qualification. We expect an interesting match with wide-open football, even if it is almost friendly. We offer to bet on Over 2.5 goals scored for a pleasant coefficient.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
